Help Francisco restart a barbershop in San Francisco after floodwater

Francisco has run a barbershop for nine years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $2,400 will put it back on its feet.

San Francisco
For nine years I have run a barbershop in San Francisco. In April, floodwater took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 weeks. This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment. Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $2,400 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $360 • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,650 • Initial stock: supplies: $390 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Francisco
